any advice re bad tiling job would be appreciated

Trouble is, it's finding someone else who is willing to try and make a silk purse out of a sows ear. Not many would even consider accepting a job like it. Sorry!!

If the whole job need scrapping and re-doing, then the only option is to sue her for the total cost, which wouldn't be easy, and could be a lengthy procedure.

yep and this is where I don't have the time or money to do this, I think im going to have to try and find someone that will correct some of the real big mistakes and try and accept the wonky walls, thin cuts etc, or it could be mths fighting this out and leaving with my bathroom not finished, no shower and possible more breakage to floor tiles left ungrouted and vulnerable, its very stressful

the reason setting out the tiles befo4re hand is so important before starting is if you have a small cut you have to take the lot down and start again. the small cuts cant be rectified without the lot or at least a whole wall coming down. scrap and restart get that ex of yours to rip it out for his daughters sake if he is any kind of father.

that's the problem he isn't that great a father, shes getting bullied and hes doing nothing to help so I cant see him doing this for me, but that's another issue, then I will have to order and pay for a whole wall of tiles, Im running out of money as allocated ex amount for each room In the house as whole house needed doing . I think I need someone that is an experienced tiler to come and look and tell me what they think and give me a price , then once I get a price ill know what I can afford.

the latest email from her says you get what you paid for I gave you a cheap price for this job, she really is something else lol

 

[Mr Tiler]

that's your proof of poor care then. print that email and show it too trading standards/citizens advice and see what they have to say.

I hope you are keeping all these emails safe. They could be useful if push comes to shove.

 

[Mr Tiler]

I feel sorry for you as I know how expensive tiles on there own can cost let alone all the other factors.

yes ive definitely kept them , this is 2 quotes from 2 of her emails


But I'm not paying out more, as *** was a ridiculously cheap quote for the job to be done. What do you expect if you go for super cheap quotes

I replied to that your admitting you have provided shoddy work then , shes replied

No, I'm saying that cheap quotes are either cowboys or people who are new to the trade. Both usually provide a lower quality service than the more expensive quotes (not necessarily on purpose), everyone knows that.
